It&#39;s nagging, annoying feeling, because no task is as simple as it sounds. Developers, especially, should know better - but we don&#39;t.</p><div class="feedflare">

I really wanted this to work. Not because Spotify is bad, but because change can be fun (and because searching any song with Siri on my watch sounds pretty cool). I&#39;m running the iOS 9 beta on my phone, so I downloaded the iOS 8.4 update on my iPad to check out Apple Music. Unfortunately, I don&#39;t see myself switching from Spotify anytime soon. I really tried to convince myself to give it a chance, but Apple Music is just simply awful to use. Everything I would want to do would either take forever or is simply not possible.</p><div class="feedflare">

Though the Pebble Steel offers many benefits of a smartwatch, I&#39;ve also found that it comes with its own set of annoyances, many of which stem from not having access to any Apple APIs aside from getting Bluetooth notifications.</p><div class="feedflare">

After it was chosen &quot;Best Overall&quot; by the judges, the app was improved upon before being submitted to the <a href="http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/eecsnews/2014/05/05/osu-app-challenge/">OSU App Challenge</a>, where <a href="http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/eecsnews/2014/05/15/teamwork-takes-app-challenge-new-level/">it was chosen for &quot;Best Usability&quot;</a>. Though the various judges might have liked the app, I was never truly happy with it. Even though it got many compliments, it had some performance issues and an interface that wasn&#39;t as intuitive as I would like. Because of how much custom view animation code was in the app, when the new iPhone screen sizes were announced, I knew that trying to make the app work on the new screen sizes was probably more trouble than it was worth. Since I also wanted to give myself a project to play around with Swift and new iOS 8 APIs, I decided to rewrite the app in Swift from scratch.</p><div class="feedflare">

I wanted to know what it&#39;s like to have a <del>big</del> <del>large</del> <del>huge</del> enormous phone. I&#39;m farily tall (6&#39;3&quot;), and I have fairly large hands, so the size itself wasn&#39;t as big of a concern to me as it probably was/is to shorter folk. One of my many internal rationalizations for getting the Plus (none of which are actually very rational) was that if there are smaller people who are fine with larger phones, I should be even more fine. So I preordered a gold 6 Plus after a tiring battle against Apple&#39;s servers and got it delivered on release day. And now here I am, a week later. My old iPhone 5s looks like a tiny toy, and my hands seem to have established somewhat of a rough standard for large phone usage.</p><div class="feedflare">

A phone seems to be a sufficient time-telling device. Most of the articles that I&#39;ve read about the Apple Watch seem to be written from that perspective. To me, the decision as to whether to wear a smartwatch or nothing seems fairly simple if those are the only two choices. I wear an analog watch already, however, so my decision instead will be an arguably more difficult one - whether I want to give up my analog watch for an Apple Watch or keep my current watch. It&#39;s an issue that I&#39;m currently debating, so I decided to write out my thoughts to help piece various arguments together.</p><div class="feedflare">

The hackathon consisted of around 8 hours of coding. We started out with using the iOS Google Maps SDK because the format of the bus route lines was made using Google&#39;s <a href="https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/utilities/polylinealgorithm">Polyline Encoding Algorithm</a>. Our initial idea involved using a blurred street view in the background of each stop in a list of table view cells, but this ended up looking awful (not to mention the blurring obscured Google&#39;s logo/legal links, which is not allowed). Instead, we ended up using solid backgrounds based on the various bus lines&#39; bus colors, and it turned out fairly well. We ended up winning <em>Best Overall App</em> at the hackathon.</p><div class="feedflare">

It was a good day. I did notice one bug that I did not, unfortunately, foresee - since the settings plist is different, the app has a chance to crash if the new settings are not refreshed. I&#39;ll have to figure out how to fix that.</p><div class="feedflare">

It&#39;s amazing how much of a delay I now notice when I try to use my iPhone 4s again that I didn&#39;t see before. After just a couple of hours of use of the 5s, the 4s screen seems so tiny. How did I ever use that?</p><div class="feedflare">

I arrived at <a href="http://www.apple.com/retail/bridgeportvillage/">the Apple Store in Bridgeport Village</a> at a little before 3 a.m. Already, the line was at least 100 people long. Maybe 200. I&#39;m not sure. Especially with <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/9/20/4749888/iphone-5c-5s-begin-sale-in-stores-gold-numbers-limited">reports of low iPhone 5s gold stock in particular</a>, I knew my chances were low from the start. But, I was there, so I gave it a shot.</p><div class="feedflare">

I&#39;ve always found that to be slightly annoying. So I decided to make a quick library to create notifications in the status bar. It makes a lot more sense to put notifications of this sort in the status bar, as it does not disrupt the main content view.</p><div class="feedflare">

However, recently, I can&#39;t help but feel the need to express my views on the crisis in Syria. I&#39;m writing this, to a large extent, for my own benefit. I don&#39;t like to have strong opinions on matters that I don&#39;t know much about, so I&#39;ve decided to do a bit of research and writing to better inform myself and hopefully, answer some questions. <img src="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/graphics/maps/sy-map.gif" alt="From CIA World Factbook"></p><div class="feedflare">
